How to buy Cano Health (CANO) stock in Canada when it goes public
Here's everything we know so far about the Cano Health IPO.
Note: all dollar amounts on this page are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.
What we know about the Cano Health IPO
Healthcare provider Cano Health is planning to go public through a merger with Jaws Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), also known as a blank check company. SPACs are companies with no commercial operations that exist purely to raise capital through IPOs. No date has been announced yet.
The SPAC, Jaws Acquisition Corp., was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in May.
Real estate investor Barry Sternlicht is backing the $4.4 billion merger between Cano Health and Jaws.
The company will operate as Cano Health and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as CANO. As part of the merger, Cano is poised to receive $800 million from investors including Sternlicht. No date has been set for closing.
Will I be able to buy Cano Health stocks from Canada?
You won’t be able to buy Cano Health stocks on a Canadian stock exchange like the TSX or CSE, but you can from a Canadian-based brokerage that offers access to companies listed on exchanges outside Canada. Specifically, you’ll need access to the NYSE, the exchange on which Cano Health stocks will be traded.
Some of the Canadian online trading platforms that provide access to US-listed stocks include Questrade, Wealthsimple, Interactive Brokers and Scotia iTRADE.
The process of buying stocks in a US company while living in Canada is the same as buying stocks in a Canadian company. You buy and sell using your online trading account or through an investment broker who handles US stocks.

Tax implications of buying US stocks in Canada
Agreements between Canada and the US require Canadians holding US stock investments to pay the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a 15% withholding tax on any dividends earned on their US stocks. Interest earned from bonds or other interest-yielding US investments are similarly taxed at a rate of 10%.
An exception is made for stock investments held in trust exclusively designed to provide retirement income. Such trusts include RRIFs, LIRAs, LIFs, LRIFs and Prescribed RRIFs. RRSPs are also exempt from US withholding tax if you own US investments in the form of US stocks, bonds or ETFs.
Investment accounts that do not qualify for this exemption include RESPs, TFSAs and RDSPs.
All income from investments, including foreign investments, must be declared as part of your income on your Canadian tax return. Unless your US earnings are exempt from withholding tax, this means you’ll be double taxed on those earnings — first by the IRS, then by the CRA. However, the CRA may allow you to claim foreign tax credits for any taxes you’ve already paid to the IRS.
Speak with a tax professional to find out what rules and exceptions apply to your circumstances.
